Hammonds Plains Rd. Video submitted.

@HRMFireNews Not every incident needs a public alert or a public inquiry. There I said it.

[NSFireDispatches @nsfiredispatch]

@HRMFireNews That’s always helpful.

[NSFireDispatches @nsfiredispatch]

@HRMFireNews How long before they break this one.

[NSFireDispatches @nsfiredispatch]

@nsoldguy @HRMFireNews That was mostly seasonal staff and part time. Smoke and mirrors.

[NSFireDispatches @nsfiredispatch]

@fraserscott17 @HRMFireNews So stop following and engaging. If you want to have a balanced conversation about the facts then let’s do it.

[NSFireDispatches @nsfiredispatch]

2M compensation for volunteers? No, they’re paid on call. Stop calling them volunteers. Volunteers receive no compensation for their contributions.
If there’s a 40% reduction in calls then the compensation rate won’t change.

[Halifax Fire News @HRMFireNews]

Second, major cuts to volunteers. HRFE volunteer honorariums proposed to be reduced by 770K. I gather the total pool has been somewhere around 2M, so this would represent a nearly 40% cut. GSAR grant proposed to be cut by 50%.

[NSFireDispatches @nsfiredispatch]

@HRMFireNews It was a general statement not directed at you. You do a great job raising awareness of the fire department that can’t be found elsewhere. Providing facts to the public is what’s needed. Facts like “volunteers” are very well compensated compared to every other NS fire department

[NSFireDispatches @nsfiredispatch]

@fraserscott17 40% reduction to TOTAL compensation available but not to the firefighters if the call volume has dropped by the same amount.

[NSFireDispatches @nsfiredispatch]

@HRMFireNews If 4 members are listed as responding then no 2nd page. This is a big issue since it doesn’t look at response time.

[NSFireDispatches @nsfiredispatch]
